Great clip. Very fast and pin point accuracy. What style are they practicing?

That front fake then to his uke face is incredible. His hips really rotate while preforming that kick....very impressive!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcHuCAmMT7Q&NR=1Another vid of the same guy.
Where is he located.
It's slightly odd that a wado guy would do the inside kick as I've never seen it done in karate before, only TKD/TSD.
By the look of the way he fights, he clearly does WKF kumite. That's what I do and all I can think is that I hope I don't meet up with him in the over 35 divisions!!!!

He looks Shorin-ryu to me, he uses his hands too fluiditly to be TKD and his sweeps moves are without the forceful hip motions that TKDer use.
Really almost any kick that TKD use Shorin-ryu would use but its not stressed. Even a lot of the jump kicks. Watch him throw a side kick, its not extended like a TKDers SK.
Look at his footwork and his hands are up its not as jumpy as TKDers, its definitely midrange and closer in movement. Tai-chi people use that kick all the time.
He may have some TKD influence most people cross train now days even in Japan.

Neko, you said one word that struck a cord with me - jumpy. Note how he maintains one level. He just glides - quickly! - into position. Very smooth.

John, Ok then we expect a complete seminar on that inside kick Aug 11th at the "Get Together"
I have seen the kick before many time done by Korean styles but never the flexing & whipping motion of the hips. Although it does create a lot of speed and snap!

I googled his name- he's Wado-Ryu

Almost the same thing a derivative of Shotokan which is a Japanese version of Shorin-ryu with deeper stances.
Wado-ryu Combines Shoto-kan & Jujitsu or was it Judo.
